Lotta Body Setting Lotion, 8 Ounce

I have curly hair and I like to were it straight on occasion, but the blow drying and flat iron is just so damaging to fine, high porosity hair. I saw someone doing a roller set to achieve the straight hair without that direct heat. Decided to give it a shot. Got some rollers and this setting lotion. Used it as directed (diluting appropriately for my hair type) and just sprayed each section lightly before rolling. It worked beautifully. Had a soft cast with no flaking when I brushed it out, and most importantly, it didn't dry out my hair. And I barely made a dent in the solution I mixed up so this bottle will last a very long time.

I can't believe i never heard of this product. It is inexpensive & really works well for wet set curlers. It doesn't damage my hair & all i have to do is shake my hair out in the morning & put it in a ponytail. Apparently, this brand has been around for years! No need for hair sprays & mousse, etc. Curls last for 2 days.

I don't know how I happened upon this MIRACLE, but OH how I wish I had done so years ago! Over the years, I have paid a king's ransom on perms, body waves, fancy heated (and non heated) curler sets, curling irons, lotions, potions and devices! Why? Because I was born with perfectly straight hair. You know -the kind that curly or curly-ish haired people are paying a king's ransom to have these days? (Brazilian blowouts, Keratin Treatments, etc.) Well, neveryoumind what's hot/fashionable -- I will ALWAYS want CURLY hair! And FINALLY! The hair fairies have granted my wish! And HOW! - After washing, conditioning and blotting my fairly thick but very fine, shoulder-length hair, I followed the instructions on the bottle and mixed 1/3 Lottabody to 2/3 water in a small bowl and gave it a good stir. I then combed my damp hair into various (pitiful) sections and rolled each onto a sponge roller. Not the pink foam rollers with the plastic (built-in) clips, I use the kind that look like a mouse pillow with wings that were popular in the 80s. (and probably the 50s for all I know) These are difficult to fasten in place and I guess this is why they aren't easy to find these days. But they are SOFT and easy to sleep on. I guess you could also use bobby socks, like my mom did. - Ah! But I digress! (Forgive!) - So I spent the familiar 20-30 minutes (give or take) rolling my damp tresses around each mouse pillow, carefully applying the Lottabody mixture to each section by dipping my comb into the bowl and then combing through each section before rolling. I slept pretty well for a person with her hair tied in various and sundry clumps of spongey mouse pillows (some with bobby pins attached for added "security.") - And although my hair did NOT completely dry during the night (does yours?) in the morning, I used a blow dryer on whatever clumps were not completely dry (that would be ... all of them) and presto! Feeling confident that it was safe to do so, I unrolled each section, one by one, like I've SO many, many, many times before. - Only THIS TIME, the curls stayed! And stayed and stayed! SO strong were these curls, that I didn't feel the need to apply hair spray! And my HAIR WAS SHINY and BOUNCY for two full days. - Curly and far thicker than usual for 4 days! - Never in all my days has my hair held a curl for longer than half a day at BEST. Not even when I had a strong perm! I decided to stop getting perms or putting any kind of serious salon type chemicals on my head years ago because I think those chemicals are harmful to this earth and its inhabitants. - I also never wanted to worry ever again about swimming in the ocean or in a swimming pool and emerging from said body of water with damaged hair. - So this product is my gift from God!My complete and utter M.I.R.A.C.L.E.!!!!! It gets an AWESOME sticker in my book! (Photos are of my curls on days 2 and 3!)

I chose this mainly because too many similar products smell like coconut, which is a strangely consistent trend. I was really frustrated by this because I do not want to smell at all tropical or have this clash with the types of scents I prefer. This isn't especially strongly scented by anything and isn't very detectable in my hair. As for the actual usage, I still haven't quite figured it out the ratio of dilution for me. I've had mixed results for very loose curls. Be careful or it can feel a bit crunchy! I've had it for around a year and kind of gave up on it after a few tries, but if I change my mind either way, I'll try to update. It seems like a good product for many, though.

I use this with Caruso rollers or my flex style. It is a bit drying but I expected that. What I didn’t expect was the incredible but flexible hold. It’s outstanding, just make sure you dilute it properly

Idk how this isn’t more modernly popular. I diluted per instructions to about 25% and used for a wet set. Typically my 1A hair stays best with a wet set and slowly relaxes out. These curls did not relax. I’m on day 3 and I still have mega curls. The best part is there’s no change in scent or texture. It’s just seems like my natural hair plus holding power, no crunchy products feeling. In fact, my hair is oddly not greasy yet. I think that’s coincidental since I didn’t apply at roots. I highly recommend this old school product. I hope it never goes off the market.

Doesn’t hold as well as I thought it would

Great ! Love it.
